iPad still behind the Apple curtain – secrecy’s the name of the game

Apple keep a tight ship: ain’t too many iPads leakin’ out to the public despite a flood of rumours, speculation, and sneaky. Why? Why, the Apple curtain of course! Without getting political or toeing dangerous territory, I’ll just whisper this truth: Apple cover their tracks. Sure, they have leaks, but considering the stress of hype and naughty journalists, they do a very good job of corking it. According to Reuters, even Apple Store employees have yet to see an iPad in the wilds of their inventory:

“We haven’t seen it; we never do” before a product is launched, said one employee, who asked not to be identified because workers are barred from speaking with the media. “Every store employee I know, including the managers, they haven’t seen it.”
